Cool, Kanye’s running for President. So who’s his campaign manager? Communications director? Fundraising director? Field organizers? Pollsters? Speechwriters? State chairs? Anything? Do you seriously think you get to be president by being rich and just saying you’re running?https://twitter.com/kanyewest/status/1279575273365594112 …

Well, okay, you know, that’s alright, you don’t need a complete campaign staff right away. Let’s get you filed with the FEC. Guessing we’ll need to file as an independent, yeah? Okay. Let’s start with California. You need 196,964 signatures to get you on the ballot.

And that’s just California! Lemme do a little math here for ya, Kanye. Let’s see, petition requirements for all 50 states, that comes to...831,424 signatures you’ll need to get on the ballot!

Oh dear, and it seems you’re past the filing deadline in...New York, New Mexico, North Carolina, Texas, Maine and Indiana. ...well, hey, not to worry, that’s only 102 electoral college votes you just won’t be in the running for!
